This is especially annoying/confusing when a user is first granted access to the tools project itself. Striker will tell you that you are approved with a notice, but then you still see the non-member interface.

Places where Django Groups are used in Striker:

striker.goals.signals.handlers.check_goal_member()

• checks user.groups for settings.TOOLS_TOOL_LABS_GROUP_NAME

striker.goals.signals.handlers.check_goal_tool()

• checks user.groups for names that start with 'tools.'

striker.tools.utils.create_tool()

• Django Group is created and user is added to it as a member

striker.tools.utils.project_member()

• checks user.groups for settings.TOOLS_TOOL_LABS_GROUP_NAME

striker.tools.views.repo.create()

• Loads Django Group of tool to send notifications of repo creation

striker.tools.views.tool.create()

• Loads Django Group of tool to send notifications of tool creation

striker.tools.views.tool.maintainers()

• Loads Django Group of tool to send notifications of maintainer change`
